Chocolate Fudge Easter Eggs
This old-fashioned chocolate fudge Easter egg recipe is taken from Mom's old recipe scrapbook, circa 1929.
So delicious, and so easy!
2/3 cup undiluted evaporated milk
1-2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups diced marshmallows (16 medium sized)
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips (about 9 oz)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Mix evaporated milk, sugar and salt in saucepan over medium heat. Stir until boiling, then cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add other ingredients. Stir 1 to 2 minutes, or until marshmallows melt. Let stand until cold; then form into egg shapes about 2 inches long x 1 inch wide.
If desired, roll in coconut tinted with food coloring or decorate with icing. Makes about 30 chocolate fudge Easter eggs. Wrap in colored cellophane or add to your Easter basket!From Grandmas Dessert Recipes-Donald Bell
